Maldivian presidential candidate Mohamed Nasheed (C), who was ousted as president in 2012, speaks to the media before leaving the Maldives Election Commission after meeting Commissioner Fuwad Thowfeek in Male, October 18, 2013. Nasheed looked set to win a run-off vote on September 28, after he came first in a September 7 first round, but the Supreme Court called off the vote, citing first-round fraud. Hopes that a presidential election in the Maldives would go ahead on the weekend faded on Friday with a new voter registry not ready because of objections from challengers to the country's first democratically elected leader.
